AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

A Water Slide?


An unusual feature outside a section of the Casey Council sports complex!
I am not sure if this is simply advertising the indoor waterslide or somehow extends from it!

Like an enclosed water slide

Unexpected Blue Legs


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This colourful beetle appeared on my Dromana Hills verandah yesterday afternoon.
I have never seen one like this before.
The closest I can find is a dogbane or rainbow beetle.
But they seem to be in northern America?
There seems to be no beetle like this in Australia?
Notice its strangely blue legs!
One of those blue legs at the front seems to be deformed, barely visible.
